Last time I was at B&H I was looking at the MPE65...I've seen some shots with that lens that were absolutely unbelievable.

okay...lets crawl first before we run...i just taught him how to walk!Shut up...
what you gonna do if it's windy???? Better recommendation is to take the picture while it's cloudy or create an artificial shade around the flower by blocking the sun...perhaps with your body.
That lens seems complicated and expensive. You can pick up a great Canon Macro lens for $220 to $450.
Get you a body first.....

I bet he's a better photog than us..
Naaah...I wasn't looking to buy...just curious what the lens was like. Besides, you'd need the ring or twin lite flash on top of it. Little hard core for me.
Would be neat to get into macro though...you ever tried it?
Last one this time, I promise! 😆
My friend didn't believe this one was real
Very pretty...love the periwinkle color. Morning glory?
I've tried everything...
So.... you're from North NJ..but going to school in Boston.....2 places I frequent...frequently... Are you near Bergen county?
ed

That's because Nikon owners have low expectations..
I like this picture. I took it almost a year ago. This fence rusted, because it was completely covered in water for a few days.
This image is symbolic to me because, like the caged-in sign, the life of this city is locked away in bureaucratic despair. The city's heart is still locked away...

Have you done any macro work Cject?
I wish...I have a 55-200 but it doesn't really do a great job for macro...that's about as close as I can get to having macro equipment
Knipps,
Check your last two posts. I don't see any pictures.

Alright, thanks. I'll have to host them somewhere else
You could attach them by using the paperclip icon.
Most forums I frequent make you resize them to fit certain requirements and it's just easier to use photobucket or something similar
Caverject's back. Oh great.
Grrr...I'm tired of waiting!! I want one! 😳 Finally ready to buy, but no great deals out there right now.
Btw...should I go for the 2/3-year warranty for a few hundred? Is it worth it?
buy it from Costco... that will give you a nice warranty I think.
Get you a 40D and be done with it. It's a better camera than 5D. You can always pick up a used 5D cheap in the future if you want a full frame.
They have it for $1,149 with a 2gb CF card at Costco.
Have fun shopping for lenses. You think it's hard buying a body.. you haven't begun.

yeah, especially when canon discontinues a particular lens mount! Too bad all their lenses aren't interchangable!

Did you buy extra warranty on your body?

If Canon discontinues their current lens mount, I'll convert to Nikon. How's that for a statement?
What are you afraid of?? If the body breaks..get a new one.
lol...I'm not afraid...I'm asking you if it's worth it!
I usually never buy a warranty, because they're either worthless/outrageous...but for $200 for 3 years...maybe it is?
Nope.
What's the manufacturer's warranty period? What do you think will happen to your camera in first 3 years? Heck..you might actually have more than 100,000 actuations with the digital... and you'll need a new body anyway.
Save that money and buy yourself a terabyte external hard drive to store all your pictures.
Grazie. Now, was that that hard?

BTW, that would be a suicide for Canon with all the Digital EOS they've sold..including many professional cameras out there now including the $8,000 1Ds MK III.
Back when, Canon only had 1 pro body.. F-1. I admit, Nikon Professional system seemed better during that time. So converting to new EF system with new digital AF lens system didn't quite have the impact they would experience if they were to change the mounting system now.
mmmm... kinda.
Alright you two...now duke it out over which glass I should get at first.
You're going to have to figure that one out on your own.
I already have a short list.
$2,000 budget. 3 lenses. UWA, prime range zoom, and telephoto zoom.
Get the 100-400mm L.
hell no...if you are buying a canon or nikon, I wouldn't bother with the extra warranty. Both cameras are very reliable and come with decent mfg warranties. Not sure about canon, but Nikon gives you 5 years on all their glassware too

In order of what you need... UWA, telephoto zoom, and if you got the extra money, a prime range (18-55ish) zoom. I've pretty much stopped using my 18-55 because I can get my shots with the other two lenses I have.
Really? You'd go L on the 100-400 first? I'm still waivering..but considering the 24-70mm f/2.8L.
JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!!!!!! (For crying out loud!)
You can't please those two XY's anyway.
I need to find you a personal shopper.
The two knuckleheads around here are biased to say the least.
